Swedish copyright law affords protection to photographs *iff* there  
is artistic input ("verkshöjd") in the creation of them, explicitly  
not to mere reproductions of two-dimensional images. The Nordic  
countries are normally keen to coordinate things in this sphere, so  
it's hard to believe they would vary drastically.
